Golden Hour (+ lineart below cut)

I took a picture of the lines for once and did some basic crappy photo editing on my phone, so you could probably print this out and use it as a coloring page or something if you so wish lol. Do with it what you will.

Hishida Shunso - Cat and Plum Blossoms, 1906 color on silk, 49.8 x 118 cm Adachi Museum of Art

This depiction of a quiet, cold, early spring day portrays a cat crouching underneath an old plum tree. The soft spring sun is tempting to the cat but sleep seems to be prevailing. Shunso liked, and often, drew cats. He particularly liked to illustrate black/white spotted cats, and black cats. The realistic cat and the impressive tree trunk are drawn by using an ink diffusion technique. They contrast each other beautifully, suggesting that Shunso, at the time, had sought to integrate the concepts of realism and decoration. He is thought to have perfected this technique in 1910 with his picture – “Black Cat”. via

Sean bienvenidos, japonistasarqueólogos, en esta ocasión os expongo una situación en lo que respecta al mundo occidental y oriental, dos caras de una misma moneda, ya sea historia del arte, arqueología, geografía, entre otros temas, vengo a exponer el gran desequilibrio que hay en lo que respecta a estas dos corrientes, dicho esto pónganse cómodos que comencemos. - En la foto de mi mano izquierda podemos ver claramente los países que engloban las corrientes de extremo oriente, que es el tema en particular de la publicación y al margen derecho podemos ver algunos países de occidente, entre otros. Voy a coger las palabras más sabias para explicar este desequilibrio de corrientes, que por desgracia, parece que los occidentalistas están implantando la idea del siglo XIX como que lo occidental es mejor que extremo oriente, ya que oriente al estar en la Cochinchina, pues se le tiene en un rango inferior y no es el caso. Si le preguntamos a la gente de la calle, el 90% de la gente si le preguntaras cosas de dicho tema, lo más probable es que no sepan nada, porque carecen de la ignorancia, pero que no es culpa de ellos, sino de cómo se han enseñado las cosas por parte de los gobiernos de los distintos países occidentales. - Otros puntos que vamos a resumir en este párrafo, serían la gente que lo difunde y fermenta la occidentalización, erradicando la orientalización de extremo oriente normal que la gente que divulgamos cosas, de extremo oriente, no tengamos el apoyo suficiente o solo de una parte. - Espero que os haya gustado, posdata estoy dando mi punto de vista, lo más probable es que haya gente que no lo comparta, otros si y otros se mantengan al margen nos vemos en próximas publicaciones. - ようこそ、日本の考古学者の皆さん、この機会に、私は美術史、考古学、地理など、同じコインの裏表である西洋と東洋の世界に関する状況を紹介します。これら 2 つの流れに関しては、そうは言っても、安心して始めましょう。 - 私の左手の写真には、この出版物の特別なテーマである極東海流を含む国々がはっきりと見え、右側にはいくつかの西洋諸国などが見えます。私はこの流れの不均衡を説明するために最も賢明な言葉を使うつもりだが、残念なことに、西洋主義者たちは、東洋はコーチシナにあるので西洋のほうが極東よりも優れているという19世紀の考えを植え付けているようだ。それは彼をより低いランクに置いているのですが、そうではありません。街行く人々に尋ねると、90％の人が、この話題について尋ねると、ほとんどの場合、彼らは無知なので何も知らないということですが、それは彼らのせいではなく、物事がどうなっているのかということです。さまざまな西側諸国の政府によって教えられてきました。 - この段落で要約するその他の点は、それを広め、西洋化を発酵させ、極東の東洋化を根絶する人々です。極東から物事を広める人々が十分な支持を得ていないのは正常ですまたは片側からのみ。 - 気に入っていただければ幸いです。追記 私は私の見解を述べていますが、おそらくそれを共有しない人もいれば、共有する人もいれば、近づかない人もいるでしょう。今後の出版物でお会いしましょう。 - Welcome, Japanese archaeologists, on this occasion I present to you a situation regarding the Western and Eastern world, two sides of the same coin, be it art history, archeology, geography, among other topics, I come to expose the great imbalance that There is in regards to these two currents, having said that, make yourself comfortable and let's begin. - In the photo on my left hand we can clearly see the countries that encompass the Far Eastern currents, which is the particular topic of the publication, and on the right side we can see some Western countries, among others. I am going to use the wisest words to explain this imbalance of currents, which unfortunately, seems that the Westernists are implanting the idea of ​​the 19th century that the Western is better than the Far East, since the Orient is in Cochinchina, since it is It has him in a lower rank and that is not the case. If we ask people on the street, 90% of the people, if you asked them things about this topic, the most likely thing is that they do not know anything, because they lack ignorance, but that is not their fault, but how things have been taught by the governments of the different Western countries. - Other points that we are going to summarize in this paragraph would be the people who spread it and ferment Westernization, eradicating the orientalization of the Far East, it is normal that the people who spread things, from the Far East, do not have enough support or only from one side. - I hope you liked it, postscript I am giving my point of view, most likely there are people who do not share it, others do and others stay away, see you in future publications.

a large amount of time I've been spending on -untitled undefined scope original fiction project- since the last time I posted about it has been trying to develop the protagonist concept I came up with last summer or whatever into like, a character that would feel real and era appropriate.

it's fun research to do. naturally a lot of the details I assigned to her are things that I already think are cool, so it's been a lot of fun trying to trace her traits back through the relatively recent past, getting reminded of how much things have changed, or where the gaps in my intuition are, and then doing a flurry of reading to get a sense for exactly how someone like her and the people around her could have happened and what her life was probably like leading up to her present day. hopefully this results in some good good verisimilitude.

the problem with building out america's rail network btw is that it's privatized and there will never be a corporate incentive strong enough or backed enough to implement effective, accessible, AND privatized countrywide travel. nationalize railways deliver on the demands of railway workers and most importantly respect indigenous sovereignty/include indigenous design input when plotting routes

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East-aka The Tokyo War Crimes Trial.

Most people will have heard of the Nuremberg Trials, but few have heard of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE), or Tokyo War Crimes Trial. The Nuremberg trials are often criticized because of the low number of convictions of Nazi War criminals. The conviction rate of International Military Tribunal for the Far East was even lower. Most surprisingly the Japanese Emperor,…

Maruyama Ōkyo - Dragon and Tiger, 1770 Pair of hanging scrolls: ink on silk (dragon), ink and color on silk (tiger), 198 × 64.1 cm The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Auspicious images of dragons and tigers stand out as among the most popular Chinese pictorial themes transplanted to Japan. The East Asian dragon, usually represented surrounded by clouds, is associated with water, embodying a dynamic natural force manifest in thunderstorms. The dragon is said to preside over the heavens, while the tiger, an animal not native to Japan, is believed to rule the earth.

In the right-hand scroll of this entirely monochrome composition, Maruyama Ōkyo depicts the dragon emerging from clouds rendered in the layers of soft washes for which the artist was famous. At left, the tiger—its fur meticulously picked out in fine brushstrokes—glares upward at the dragon but displays little suggestion of ferocity, as is typical of Japanese depictions. via

okay i'm hitting the last post 90's year for research for the princess theatre (the archive ends after 2010) which i dont expect to take me much more than an hour max if that.... and then i have to return to the doc and decide what is missing and how to redirect it. I just do not have the knowledge that the original writer has about film and honestly i think it detracts somewhat from the history of the theatre/edmonton history and I will end up cutting a lot anyway, so I'm trying as much as possible to get examples and reactions of queer films shown there just to give people an idea that yes, actually, they were showing films about gays and lesbians in the 80s, and yes they were featuring films about drag in the 90s and films with trans main characters in 2005 etc etc rather than a treatise on new queer cinema globally because we just don't have the time for an essay within an essay, frankly.

even outside of films shown there were other events where the community either made films at the theatre or held vigils outside of it that are worth mentioning too and I just don't want that to get completely swamped in academic film studies level movements.

Russia is rotting, giving China a huge range of options with its declining neighbor. If current trends persist, China can reasonably expect its old territories to one day fall into its lap(..)

P.S. If the Russian imperialists imagine that they will be able to manipulate history with impunity, they are sorely mistaken...others with more power can also play this game...
